* Today we will be looking at technology that can be used for assessment in the classroom depending on content area.
ASSESSMENT OVERVIEW
Common Core State Standards look at these 4 Assessments:
Interim/benchmark assessments—Tests given every two months or so. They
predict how well students will do on state tests and give teacher an idea
for where students are at
Formative assessments—Practice, don’t need to be graded, help teachers and
students look at progress and what needs to be learned (homework, quizzes)
Performance assessments—Collection of work/observations (portfolios)
Summative assessments—Measurement of how much learning has taken place
after a unit or certain amount of time (state tests, final exams)
LANGUAGE ARTS ASSESSMENT
• Lexia-For literacy development and formal
assessment; gives objectives and
individual progress reports for each
student—all assessments involved
• Reading A-Z- For reading, writing, grammar
skills, proficiency and comprehension.
Helps to align instruction to individual
student needs—all assessments involved
• Writing Tester- Looks at grammar and how
many “big words” are included in what was
written. Students get a score out of 100
and aim for a higher score—formative and
performance assessments

quizzes—formative and
performance assessments
• Go Math/Big Ideas- Ongoing assessment
(formative and
informal) with quizzes
and guides for re-
teaching—formative and
performance assessments

SOCIAL STUDIES & SCIENCE ASSESSMENT
• Excel-Record and collect data tables and graphs—formative
assessment
• Survey Monkey-Create surveys and gather student interests/knowledge
through survey—formative assessment
• Mastery Connect-monitors student progress with standard based
formative assessments; also
assesses bubble
sheets—benchmark/interim and
summative assessment
• Geddit-Instant feedback, quizzes—formative assessment

UNIT & PROJECT ASSESSMENT
• Clicker-Great for multiple choice questions throughout the
lecture. This can collect data and show what percentage of
students answered each question—formative assessment
• Google Docs-Great for students to plan projects,
communicate with classmates, and check in with teachers
for feedback—formative and performance assessment
• PowerPoint/Web 2.0 tools- Great for sharing information
(graphs, data, research, student work) to students or
information that students want to share. Great for
teachers to see the meaning that students gained from the
project—formative and performance assessment
• Zangle- Grading system for teachers that allows teachers
to record new assignments, record scores, look at data for
each quarter, look up SBA scores, and take attendance—
Shows results and graphs of all types of assessment
